Chapter 221
"Brendan, my leg hurts. Can you carry me?"
"Brendan, what should I do? I haven't finished my homework."
"Brendan, slow down! I can't catch up."
"Brendan, the back seat of your car looks very comfortable!"
"Who do you think you are, Brendan?"
"Brendan, let's call it even from now on."
"Naomi, you're not worthy of bearing my child."
When Naomi was younger, she, Mason, and Brendan used to be joined at the hip. As they grew older, they gradually grew apart. Later on, Brendan chose Mason.
If Mason were still around, Naomi probably wouldn't have ended up in her current situation. She also never expected that a few words from the fortune teller would once again bring them together.
As her memories faded away, Naomi smiled at the ring. "It's beautiful."
Staring at the ring, Naomi suddenly found everything a bit ironic. Their marriage, her and Brendan's relationship, and the ring seemed to have been something she had to beg for.
Never mind that Samuel was the one who proposed the idea of marriage or the fact that Brendan had agreed to it.
More than two years of Brendan's absence made Naomi feel like a shameless woman. Back then, when Brendan slapped her, she was already prepared to cut all ties with him.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
After Naomi complimented the ring, Brendan took both the ring and the box from her.
Naomi gave him a look of confusion. She watched as Brendan took out the ring from the box and grabbed her left hand, placing the diamond ring on her ring finger.
The size of the ring was just right, and Naomi's fingers were slender and perfectly sculpted. The ring was a perfect match for her hand.
Truth be told, Naomi never once doubted Brendan's taste.
The ring felt weird on Naomi's finger. It seemed to solidify the fact that she was a married woman. Thus, she shouldn't flirt around.
Naomi's left hand trembled in Brendan's, and the latter let go of her. "Naomi, remember to watch yourself from now on. Don't forget that you're a married woman."
Naomi smiled. So the ring was to remind her of her identity, to keep her in line, and prevent her from going to places such as the massage parlors!
Naomi turned to Brendan and smiled. "The same goes for you."

They were all in this together.
After that, Naomi lazily crawled into bed and pulled the covers over m herself. Seeing this, Brendan climbed into bed and hugged her from behind,
Naomi turned to him and mumbled, "Thanks."
She added, "Don't expect anything from me!"
After more than two years of marriage, this was the first gift she had received from Brendan.
Naomi felt a bit bitter about it. She was sure no other wives felt as m embarrassed as her during the mement. Hence, she dropped the idea of getting him a ring.
And the ring came too late. It was meaningless now.
"Brendan, where do you think you're touching? Haven't you had *t you had enough?
Did you take something?" Naomi groaned.
